Welcome back Fall, we missed you! It's the first day of Fall here in South Saint Louis and it couldn't be more welcome. The Doodle Dog and I just returned from our sojourn around the neighborhood, and it is glorious outside this morning. So glad Fall has returned to the Carondelet Garden. The Mountain Hostas have been moved from where they have lived for the past twenty years and are looking pretty good in their new location. They will enjoy this nice shady spot much more than their previous home. Their world changed when a tree was removed, and they were suddenly thrown into full sunshine. They were not happy. They already seem happier in their new home. That's the way life is sometimes. You have to change or adjust to flourish. We all go through changes. Some good. Some, not so good. That's the circle of ups and downs. St. Ignatius calls this, times of consolation and desolation. He reminds us that it is natural to go through each but to save making those big decisions until we are in times of consolation. The good times. Good advice for all of us. The cooler temperatures are surely welcome. The skies are overcast here in the Garden and there is a slight chance of a rain shower or two as the day progresses. The winds are out of the North at 10 to 15 MPH. It's a lovely morning. The tea is poured. Music playing on the Smart Speaker. The newspapers are calling my name. I hope you have the best first day of Fall. We all deserve a good day. That's all the news from the Carondelet Garden.
